The SYV Wine Country Association is giving you the chance to sip on Santa Barbara all summer long! Their summer pass is “the ticket” of the season.

Nestled in a 6-mile patch of the Santa Ynez Valley are 15 wine tasting rooms. For just $40, you’ll get a taste of each one of them. Your summer pass is good from May 1st through August 31st, or until you’ve tasted each room! Valued at $150, this is an opportunity you won’t want to pass up. Plus there are no catches- no required reservations and no blackout dates, allowing you to visit whenever you please. Still need a gift for those friends with summer birthdays? Treat them to a summer pass, and it’ll be a present for the both of you!
